[QUOTE]Originally posted by Neutrino 123: [QB] Now the fleet consists of: Renaissance-class [i]USS Hornet [/i] Sabre-class [i]USS Battleaxe [/i] Defiant-class [i]USS Superb [/i] (with engine trouble) Miranda-class [i]USS Runnymede [/i] Nova-class [i]USS Quasar [/i] Oberth-class [i]USS Feynman [/i] Istanbul-class [i]USS Sofia [/i] Danube-class [i]USS Yalu [/i] Danube-class [i]USS Amur [/i] Danube-class [i]USS Aisne [/i] 3.a.(i) For Paladin181�s question, it appears that the Zemch have gone a somewhat different route in their technology, acquiring a subspace communications breakthrough before warp technology. From the repeated messages received, they are now convinced that there is intelligent life in the universe, and the government organization creation confirms that they have been significantly affected. If they seem to be an overall stable species (a Danube can be assigned with a team to collect information quickly), it is probably time to initiate contact with them (though this would be finally decided by upper-level admirals, I would recommend yes if they are stable). Perhaps there is precedent for this if a species discovered spectra of another planet with altered atmosphere? At any rate, if they have a government organization and a subspace breakthrough, it is probably time to significantly revise estimates of when they will have warp drive (they might now get it by the time the paperwork is done). (ii) For [b]Tim[/b]�s question, the answer would be absolutely not! If the entire sector is 20 cubic light years, then those stars in the Zemch system are really close (even assuming you mean each side is 20 light years in the first post � was this already mentioned?). That means that if the Rtsonamans even damage, much less destroy, the star, things will get very irradiated in Zemch-land quite soon. It seems that their research isn�t solid enough to confirm that the star will remain in good condition. However, perhaps a greater research effort could be put into these decaying stars, since in 300 years, the star exploding would affect the Zemch homeworld and other stars in the area too. 3.b. Though this is an internal matter, the Federation should strongly suggest that negotiations between the parties be initiated (an attack when other options might exist would not be looked upon kindly when considering Federation membership). Meanwhile, the Federation citizens must be evacuated, even if it means a full-scale raid (the prime directive no longer applies if the Federations citizens are hostages). The [i]Sofia [/i] with a complement of security forces from the starbase can handle this situation. If possible, perhaps and agreement can be reached allowing the evacuation of all willing colonists (the rebels might be content with holding an important piece of the economy hostage). 3.c. Why did the captain take scans of the vessel without mentioning it in his report? This warrants a full investigation. Meanwhile, after waiting for the crewmembers drunkenness to pass, we can inform him that it would be wise to turn over the information, lest his captain learn that he offered the scans. Of course, his captain might have told him to offer them in the first place. There are many possibilities, so hopefully the investigation will uncover more specifics. If the crewman is willing to offer the scans, the most he could expect is perhaps a favor of our choosing sometime in the future. Barring any kind of tricky business, I doubt a few low-quality scans are very valuable, though, so not much would be offered. 3.d. Uh oh, maybe I should have taken more ships� At any rate, negotiations would be pursued with the Gorn. The Federation would be willing to offer other nearby stars suitable for colonization, but not the Zemch zone. As an added bonus, information could be provided about the other star systems from the recent surveys, perhaps making it better for the Gorn to colonize an area in which they have more information about. It would be recommended that high-level negotiations be held between the two governments, and the Gorn colonization postponed until the negotiations are concluded. Nevertheless, the situation might degenerate. All combat capable vessels would be ordered to the area (all but the the [i]Sofia [/i], the [i]Feynman [/i], and two Danubes, which have other duties or are too far away) and set to red alert on contact with the Gorn. The [i]Superb [/i] would take awhile to meet the Gorn, so the concentration point would have to be in the Zemch trusteeship itself. If the Gorn begin colonization operations after a final warning on arrival at their destination, then the Federation would have no choice but to attack. A sudden strike would be launched targeting the Gorn weapons systems of the battlecruiser with all ships. Then as the battle proceeds, the Federation should be more concerned with destroying the Gorn�s combat capability (weapons and shields) then destroying them completely. However, if the Gorn appear to be fighting to destroy rather then disable the Federation ships, then the Federation would return the favor if tactically advisable. After the initial strike, if the battlecruiser is disabled, it should go fairly quickly. Otherwise (or if the Gorn strike first), the [i]Battleaxe [/i] would deal with one of the light cruisers, the [i]Runnymede [/i] and [i]Quasar [/i] the other, and the [i]Hornet [/i] and [i]Superb [/i] the battlecruiser. Hopefully the Gorn would withdraw if their primary ship was sufficiently damaged. [/QB][/QUOTE]
